SAN RAMON, Calif. – Cal State LA senior Ericka Taylor raced her way to CCAA Runner of the Week for Aug. 27-Sept. 2, picking up her second weekly conference honor.

Hailing from Albany, Ga., Taylor finished third overall at the Redlands Invitational, posting a time of 17:03.8 over a 4,500 meter course, outpacing all other CCAA runners in the field of 69 athletes. Taylor looks to remain the Golden Eagles top cross country and middle distance runner in her final collegiate season. She finished 21st at the CCAA Cross Country Championships a year ago, and took home the CCAA title on the track in the 800 meters in 2017.

Cal State LA will return to action next Saturday, September 8, at the Biola Invitational.
